Used Topaz Simplify and PS7.

Anita, beautiful colors and I love the stem. I'm not crazy about the framing - I think I'd like them if they were
thinner but that's just my opinion.:)

Anita, Wild and crazy colors. Looks nice. I might like to see the frame border thinner as Cheryl suggested. I like the curved stem and the bursting bloom. :)

[Mark Fuge]

Nice image and application, Anita.

Interesting frame colors! ;)

[Patti Edens]

I like the composition and colors!

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Anita, I think the colours are fabulous, but I do think that the frame could be more slender. I also love the plain BG :)
Best,
Nicki

Cheryl, Denise, Mark, Patti and Nicki: Thank you for commenting and making suggestions. Here it is with a narrower border. I also added some canvas to the top and cropped a smidgen from the left. It might look better with no border, but I was feeling in the mood to be colorful.

I like it much better Anita.:)

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

So do I :)

[Christopher Miller]

Very nice colors and comp, Anita. I like that you added more room on top in the repost. I actually prefer the wider frame. It seems to emphasize the colors more IMO. :)

[Anita Bower]

Thank you Nicki, Denise and Christopher. I see what you mean, Christopher.

[Indranil Sircar]

Beautiful composition, Anita. I actually like both representing different perspectives.

[Kerry Perkins]

Hi Anita, nicely controlled colors and effect settings. I like the diagonal composition and the way the image conveys the story that the bloom is reaching for the light. Lovely work!

About the frame, I like the smaller one, but more importantly it looks to me like you picked the colors from the image. That's a nice touch. :)

Thank you, Kerry. I did pick the colors from the image. Thanks for noticing. :-)

Thank you, Indranil.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Repost looks much better Anita, nice composition and framing. The thin frame looks much better IMO.

[Anita Bower]

Thanks, Jacke!

[Cindy Cone]

Beautiful image, Anita. I like the composition in the repost, and I do like the more delicate frame. Great use of color.

[Anita Bower]

Thank you, Cindy.
